How?

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 34 points 11 months ago

Connect old PC to TV. Both can be 15 years old.
(optional) For better performance, get a small SSD alongside the big HDD (a 64GB / partition will do), maybe have a homemade NAS ready too
Install Lubuntu, Mint XFCE, Puppy Linux or any other distro of choice
Set up KDE Connect, qBittorrent and VLC
Enjoy

Could you use a pi ? Do you have any recommendations on ssd / hdd

You'd be better off with a used office pc, something with a 4. Or 6. gen Intel CPU is usually cheaper than a RPI and way more versatile. Only thing you lose on is size and power consumption.

I'll need to look into that then
